Number of Loops Needed for This Edge: – For a Round: multiple of 2 loops – For a Row: multiple of 2 loops + 1 loop

Width of Sample Edge(from row or round 1)1.25 inches

Thread Used in Sample

size 30 crochet thread.

Sample began with

3 rows of plain netting.

Sources For This Edge:This edge was created when I realized that if I kept going with the Ruffle Edge I would never finish the doily and it would be very full at the edge of the doily.

Instructions for the Sample Pictured Above

Circular Netting

Diamond Mesh Netting

Round 1

mesh stick: 3/8″Net 3 knots in loop formed by CK, *net 5 knots in 1st loop, net 4 knots in the next loop; repeat from * to *.

Round 2

mesh stick: #3 knWithout mesh stick net together loop formed by CK and 4 loops to the right of the CK (total 5 loops)(cluster formed), now with mesh stick, *net 1 knot in each loop for 4 loops, net 5 loops together (cluster formed)*; repeat from * to *.

Round 3

mesh stick: #3 knNet 1 knot in each loop.

Round 4

mesh stick: Top – #3 kn, Bottom – #1 knSkip the loop over the cluster formed 2 rounds earlier, over both sticks net 1 knot in next loop, over #3 kn net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops.

mesh stick: Top – #3 kn, Bottom – #1 knNet 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, *skip the loop over the cluster formed 2 rows earlier, over both sticks net 1 knot in next loop, over #3 kn net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops*; repeat from * to * across the row.

Row 5

mesh stick: Top – #3 kn, Bottom – #2 knOver #3 kn net 1 knot in each loop for 3 loops, *skip a loop, over both sticks net 1 knot in next loop, over #3 kn net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops*; repeat from * to * across the row.

Row 6

mesh stick: Top – #3 kn, Bottom – #3 knOver #3 kn net 1 knot in each loop for 2 loops, *skip a loop, over both sticks net 1 knot in next loop, over #3 kn net 1 knot in next loop*; repeat from * to * across the row.
